Etymology
The word comes from the Arabic root ḥ-ṣ-r, whose core sense is to confine, restrict, or hem in. The related noun ḥaṣr means restriction or confinement, and ḥiṣār means siege. Adding the nisba suffix -ī turns the noun into the adjective ḥaṣrī, literally something like restriction-al, which came to mean exclusive: limited to one person or party and closed off from others.
